Vented hoods?

[chillmieste]

Hey,I was wondering if you bought a vented hood, if it rains and water touches your motor, would that be bad? Could it damage anything?

Thanks

WOW. Nah dude, the vented p[arts are where the water seeps down and advoids all electricaly ****..

well if you have avented hood and you are washing your car, you might want to make a simple "dam" to block a bunch of water pouring into it.normal rain shouldnt be a problem.

I'd worry just as much about dust as water.

for most of you guys, a vented hood looks great and will have no problems with water.When you wash the car just put a folded towel inside the vent.

On a car like mine, the vent sits right above the distributor which is already prone to watery death... Not a good thing.

wait, what if It sits ouside... and it rains out pretty hard..

get a hood designed right and it wont be a problem, idealy the vent pulls air from the radiator up and over the car, heloping the radiator be more efficient and reducing "heat soak" on the engine.-chet
